'Truffles' the cat helps kids get comfortable with wearing glasses, going to eye doctor 😍

 'Truffles' is a TUXEDO cat (she) whose mission is helping children get more comfortable with going to the eye doctor and wearing glasses or eye patches.

  'Truffles' was found as a stray about two years ago by Danielle D. Crull, an optician who specializes in fitting infants through teens at her practice, A Child’s Eyes, in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

  D. Crull immediately noticed that 'Truffles' was smart as a whip and began teaching her tricks, which Truffles picked up quickly. She had such an affinity for learning that Crull was inspired to try teaching her to wear glasses.

“I wondered if I could get her to wear a pair of glasses because that would be really great for kids to see, that would make them feel more comfortable,” Crull said. “Because obviously, in this business, some kids come in and they’re fine. But we do get a lot of really shy, scared kids — and especially if their parents don’t wear glasses, it’s very foreign to them, like ‘What are you putting on my face? What are you doing?’ So Truffles really became, very quickly, quite an asset to the company.”

  'Truffles’ first pair of glasses were pink, and were designed for premature babies 😆. Crull chose them because they fit Truffles’ face best, and Crull wanted her feline assistant to be comfortable in her glasses just like one of her patients.
